retirement/termination/resignation. The benefit vests on the employee
completing 5 years of service. The Gratuity plan for the Company is a
defined benefit scheme where annual contributions as demanded by the
insurer are deposited to a Gratuity Trust Fund established to provide
gratuity benefits. The Trust Fund has taken a Scheme of Insurance,
whereby these contributions are transferred to the insurer. The Company
makes provision of such gratuity asset/ liability in the books of
accounts on the basis of actuarial valuation as per the Projected unit
credit method. Plan assets also include investments and bank balances
used to deposit premiums until due to the insurance company.

Retirement benefits in the form of Superannuation Fund (being
administered by Trusts) are funded defined contribution schemes and the
contributions are charged to the Profit and Loss Account of the year
when the contributions to the respective funds are due. There are no
other obligations other than the contribution payable.

The Provident Fund being administered by a Trust is a defined benefit
scheme whereby the Company deposits an amount determined as a fixed
percentage of basic pay to the fund every month. The benefit vests upon
commencement of employment. The interest credited to the accounts of
the employees is adjusted on an annual basis to confirm to the interest
rate declared by the Government for the Employees Provident Fund. The
Guidance Note on implementing AS- 15, Employee Benefits (Revised 2005)
issued by the Accounting Standard Board (ASB) states that provident
funds set up by employers, which requires interest shortfall to be met
by the employer, needs to be treated as defined benefit plan. Based on
certificate issued by the Actuary, there is no deficit in the fund.

The following tables summarize the components of net benefit expense
recognised in the Profit and Loss Account and the amounts recognised in
the balance sheet for the Gratuity.

cumulative redeemable preference shares for the period December 12,

taxes on IncomeÃ, as notifi ed by Companies Accounting Standards Rules,
2006. The Company had deferred tax asset (net) amounting to Rs.1,805.79
lacs with carry forward losses and unabsorbed depreciation as a major
component as on December 31, 2008. Since there was no convincing
evidence which demonstrates virtual certainty of realization of such
deferred tax asset in the near future, the Company had prudently
decided not to recognize deferred tax asset on such timing diff erences
in previous year.

In the current year, the Company has recognized net deferred tax
liability amounting to Rs.1,646.90 lacs consisting of deferred tax
liabilities of Rs.4,860.84 lacs and deferred tax assets of Rs.3,213.84

reduced from sales and excise duty on increase/decrease in stock
amounting to Rs. 25.95 has been considered as (income)/expense in profi

12. Gratuity and other employment benefit plans

The Company has three post employment funded plans, namely Gratuity,
Superannuation and Provident Fund. Gratuity being administered by a
Trust is computed as 15 days salary, for every completed year of
service or part thereof in excess of 6 months and is payable on
retirement/termination/resignation. The benefi t vests on the employee
completing 5 years of service. The Gratuity plan for the Company is a
defined benefit scheme where annual contributions as demanded by the
insurer are deposited to a Gratuity Trust Fund established to provide
gratuity benefi ts. The Trust Fund has taken a Scheme of Insurance,
whereby these contributions are transferred to the insurer. The Company
makes provision of such gratuity asset/ liability in the books of
accounts on the basis of actuarial valuation as per the Projected unit
credit method. Plan assets also include investments and bank balances
used to deposit premiums until due to the insurance company.

Retirement benefi ts in the form of Superannuation Fund (being
administered by Trusts) are funded defi ned contribution schemes and
the contributions are charged to the Profi t and Loss Account of the
year when the contributions to the respective funds are due. There are
no other obligations other than the contribution payable.

The Provident Fund being administered by a Trust is a defi ned benefi t
scheme whereby the Company deposits an amount determined as a fi xed
percentage of basic pay to the fund every month. The benefi t vests
upon commencement of employment. The interest credited to the accounts
of the employees is adjusted on an annual basis to confi rm to the
interest rate declared by the Government for the Employees Provident
Fund. The Guidance Note on implementing AS-15, Employee Benefi ts
(Revised 2005) issued by the Accounting Standard Board (ASB) states
that provident funds set up by employers, which requires interest
shortfall to be met by the employer, needs to be treated as defi ned
benefi t plan. Based on certifi cate issued by the Actuary, there is no
defi cit in the fund.

The following tables summarize the components of net benefi t expense
recognised in the Profi t and Loss Account and the amounts recognised
in the balance sheet for the Gratuity.

Standards Rules, 2006. This is in line with CompanyÃs strategy to focus
its activities on cement and to abandon / dispose unrelated activities.

both divisions having carrying value of Rs.178.41 lacs (relating to
Sponge iron plant - Rs120.44 lacs and Steel melting plant - Rs.57.97
lacs) at Rs.268.66 lacs and had recognised profi t of Rs.90.25 lacs on
